Perfect intervals down
One more look at what you missed.
Fourths, fifths and octaves can fall, too.
The size stays the same when the second note is lower. Only the direction changes.
A fourth, a fifth and an octave, going down.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
Two falling leaps you can hold on to.
Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik opens with a falling fourth. Sing Twinkle's leap backwards and you get a falling fifth.
Fell to the same note? Octave. If not, the wider fall is the 5th, the narrower the 4th.
Ask first: did it fall to the same note?
If it did, it is the octave. If not, the wider fall is the fifth and the narrower one the fourth.
The fourth and the fifth down, from A.
Narrower, like Eine kleine Nachtmusik: perfect 4th. Wider, like Twinkle backwards: perfect 5th.
Play a falling fifth: from G, count down to C.
G, F, E, D, C is five note names: a fifth. G down to D is four: a fourth.
Which falling leap is this?
You can hear perfect intervals falling.
